How to update the address and copyright text in your publication footer

The physical address featured in your publication footer is an aspect that is required by law. The information for the address is pulled from your publication’s email settings, which can be updated at any time in your account. 

Your copyright text establishes your content as original and proprietary, protecting it from unauthorized copying or use. By default, it displays the name of your publication, but you can customize it if preferred. This article will cover both changing the address and the copyright text that appear in your publication footer. 

You can also customize the appearance of your publication footer in the Newsletter Builder.
